randomness

How many stars? Was pretty much the first question out of Marcello this morning. I wonder how long he's been working on that one!

I went online to find our scientific best answers to this query. I instinctively thought of Carl Sagan saying, "Billlions and billions. . ." of the coumtless stars and galaxies. There are not set answers: 100 billion, 200 billion (possibly half of that), 300 million in the Milky Way. . .We don't know.

My dad sent a knife set that arrived today. Utensils and cutlery too are now in abundance. Thanks to the universe for such randomness.
